Using the Unit with
MS-DOS Applications
Selecting print quality
If you are not using Windows, you may need to set the print mode for MS-DOS applications.
Your unit incorporates several print modes that allow you to select print quality, density of ink, and paper type.
The control panel enables you to select three of these print modes: HQ, FINE, and HS.
If you are using Windows, the printer driver automatically adjusts the print mode.
To select the print mode, follow the steps below.
1
Make sure the printer mode is turned on and the unit
is off-line.
2
Press (PRINT\MODE) repeatedly until the desired
print mode is displayed.
Use this mode for most of your printing needs. The
unit automatically prints in HQ mode unless you
change the mode with the PRINT MODE button or
your software.
Use this mode for printing on ink jet transparencies or
printing halftone images that produce grayscale or
intermediate colors.
Use this mode when you are printing draft
documents. Your document will print faster but the
print density will be lower. This mode uses half the
amount of ink as the HQ mode.
